There's something strange going on when I'm moving outlines.
I imported a letter made in Corel Draw and it showed fine with no faulty points. But then I moved it to its correct place and suddenly a red point appeared and part of the previously smooth outline was cut off.

Just moving it to another spot fixes it again.

It's a matter of trial and error until I finally get it correctly to where it's supposed to be.

If the outline is tiny (e.g. only a few units in height or width), then this can happen as fonts use rounded values.

If this is happening, then it is probably best to change Pixels per em as available on the Options dialog, on the Import tab.

The outline isn't tiny, I'd say. This is the lower case x and its height is 700.
I have seen the Pixels per em setting, but I never changed it. It's set to 512, but I don't know if this is alright. Is there any suggestion on how to determine an appropriate value?

Then that isn't the problem, but you might still see rounding issues.

In point mode, right-click and select Round XY Coordinates if you want to round coordinates values while designing your outlines.
